Hinterland

Hinterland is a German word meaning the 'land behind' (a city, a port, or similar).[1] Its use in English was first documented by the geographer George Chisholm in his Handbook of Commercial Geography (1888).[2] Originally the term was associated with the area of a port in which materials for export and import are stored and shipped. Subsequently, the use of the word expanded to include any area under the influence of a particular human settlement.[3]
